this is a possible test question for me that was phrased: "choose a moral issue concerned to you and discuss it from Kant's point of view using the three formulations and the categorical imperative. 1. Act according to universal law 2. treat all as ends towards themselves not means 3. act as a legistlator in the kingdom of ends.
any help would be great thanks

Law as universally AND equally applied to all people? If I treat you as an end in your self recognizing your value for you as I recognize my value for me, that I have free will and find joy in its freedom and sorrow in its limitations, it would be, according to your understanding of your contingent unique individualistic facts for self, that would have freedom to act according to your self perceived free will. Self perceived free will is not something externally perceptible for a fetus or preborn baby. If I feel sorrow at your realized will, that is my loss, but I have no right for recompense or intervention for that right would be conferred on you properly and then may do me grievous harm against my will for my joy.

I could explain it, but I'm not going to. Ha Ha.
